`STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 23,363, dated March 29, 1859.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, F. GILLILAND, of Port Jackson, in the county ofMontgomery and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe annexed draw ings, making a part of this specification, in whichFigure l, is a vertical central section of a cylinderl stove constructedaccording to my invention. Fig. 2, is a horizontal section of ditto,taken in the line m, w, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the twofigures.

This invention relates to an improvement in stoves which have sheet ironcases or bodies, and consists in a novel way of lining the same andcontrolling` the draft, as hereinafter fully shown and described,whereby the sheet iron casing or body will be perfectly protected fromthe tire and the latter at the same time allowed to diffuse its heatwithout being materially absorbed or obstructed by the lining.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct myinvention I will proceed to describe it.

A, represents a cast iron base, and B, a sheet metal cylinder placedthereon.

C, is the grate placed in the bottom of the cylinder, D, is the tirechamber, and E, the lining of the same, said lining extending down tothe fire grate.

The lining E, is formed of a series of inverted conical basins ax,placed one over the other, each basin being provided with lugs orprojections a, at its outer side which rest on the top of the oneimmediately below it, the top basin having the upper ends of verticalrods b, bent over it, said rods keeping the whole series of basins inproper position. The basins it will be seen by referring to Fig. l, areopen both at top and bottom, and the lugs or projections a, allow spacesc, between the basins, the upper edges Vof the basins being in contactwith the cylinder B.

F is a cast iron cylinder which is fitted within the sheet iron cylinderB, directly over the tire chamber. rI`he cylinder F, has a perforatedflanch d, around its upper part, said fianch extending over the upperedge of the sheet metal cylinder B. The cylinder F, is considerablysmaller than the cylinder B, so as to leave a space e, between them; andover the flanch 0l, within the stove a sliding perforated ring or platef is placed, the plate f, forming with flanch al, a register directlyover the space c.

The to-p e, of the cylinder F, is of conical forni provided withopenings g, g, and encompassed by a conical band 7i, which forms aregister for the upper partof cylinder F.

G, is a cast iron cap which covers the cylinders F, and B, and isprovided with a door z'. The smoke pipe H, is attached to the upper endof the cap G, and the cap G, is sutliciently large to allow a space j,between it and the band la., of the top cylinder F.

The operation is as follows: Then a tire is kindled inthe chamber D, theregister or slide f is closed and the register or band z., opened. Adirect draft is thereby attained and the basins ax, keep of course thetire from the sheet iron case B, while the spaces c, between them allowthe heat to come in direct contact with the cylinder B. 'When the tireis sufficiently under way the openings g, may be wholly or partiallyclosed and the slide f, so adjusted as to cause the perforations in theplate f, and fianch d, to register with each other. rlhe products ofcombustion will then pass up the space c, and j, and into the pipe H,and the draft being rather more circuitous combustion will be checked tocertain extent and the heat will not be sufiicient to injure the case B.The direction of the draft may be regulated as desired or as the natureof the case may require by adjusting the slide f, and the band 7l.

From the above description it will be seen that the tire will diffuseits heat instantaneously, nearly as soon as if no lining were employedand still the case will be perfectly protected. The lining E, may be ofcast metal or tire brick, cast or molded in the form as described.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

In combination with the lining E, and sheet metal case B,the cylinder F,placed within the body of the stove and provided at its top with theregister or sliding band z, and a register or slide f, on its ianch d,for the purpose set forth.
